Coelogyne flaccida seed culture in vitro reveals that there are two pathways of asymbiotic seedling development from seeds. On one pathway, the seeds obtained from green capsules germinated readily asymbiotically in the nutrient medium supplemented with 0.5 – 2 mg/l NAA and IAA plus 15% coconut water and charcoal, 2 gm/l. During the usual germination process, the undifferentiated embryo of the seed produces a large number of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) without forming the intermediate callus…

come from seeds which are produced and distributed by agribusiness corporations like Monsanto. In their article ‘Why Does Monsanto Sue Farmers Who Save Seeds?’ Monsanto; one of the first agribusiness corporations, defends the company’s reputation and effectively justifies why and how they go about handling patent infringement. Originally posted on Monsanto’s website, the article informs readers of the great lengths that the company goes through to do research and development of their seeds, why…

rimming hedges isn't hard. In fact, it can even be a relaxing way to get out into your yard for a few hours. But with a few tips under your hat before you head out to trim your hedges, things will come out a lot smoother. Why trim Hedges: There are three big reasons to trim your hedges. First, repeated trimming trains the plants the same way your hair gets trained by being combed the same way over and over. Second, we improve the health of the plant by trimming off dead sections that can…

The state agent points out that there are three daisy species that grow near the Anasazi archaeological site, the X. Confertifolia, the X. Tortifolia, and the X. Cronquistii. Based on the plants external structure, I can notice the X. cronquistii slightly differs from the X. Tortifolia in leaf margin, however, all three daisies appear similar in color and shape. Therefore, the evidence regarding the plants’ morphology is insignificant. Moreover, the X. confertifolia and the X. toritfolia can be…

The land application site has been in use since about 1973 for the treatment and disposal of cheese processing effluent. Prior to that time, the site was used for irrigated agriculture. Swiss Village Cheese Company originally operated the facility in 1973. From approximately 1991 until 1999 the facility was operated by Simplot Daily Products. Sorrento Lactalis, Inc. purchased the plant in early 1999 and continues to operate the facility today. Currently both treated wastewater and freshwater…

additional procedure. Since lima bean seeds require maximum sunlight in order to germinate, I would have to move my planting cups around my backyard throughout the day in order for them to germinate in favorable conditions. The cause of this is the fact that the sun shines in different areas of my backyard throughout the day. Consequently, I created a garden to make moving the planting cups around simpler. If there is a certain spot you plan to plant your lima bean seeds that constantly has sun…

the radish seed? The experiment consisted of testing five germinating radish seeds under four different color lights, red, blue, green, and normal fluorescent light. The seeds were placed in a Petri dish covered in a wet paper towel and a piece of colored cellophane was also placed on top. The results were quite interesting because the seeds showed no difference in number of germination throughout the different light colors. Each color of light resulted in one slightly germinated seed, or 20%…

Hey class, for my science fair, I have decided to do a research and experimental project on how pH values affect seed germination. In order to gain knowledge about the influences of pH values on seed germination, I decided to grow red kidney beans for 10 days with all acidic, neutral, and basic water. My hypothesis was that if multiple beans were to be grown with water containing different pH levels, then each bean plant would have different outcomes in terms of growth because depending on the…

assimilation efficiencies for herbivores? Different plant diets result in very different assimilation efficiencies for herbivores because there are different portions of cellulose, lignin, and other materials within the plants. For example consuming seeds might get more energy than consuming decaying wood for…

breakdown of starch to glucose in the endosperm begins shortly after the seed is exposed to water. Gibberellins in the seed embryo are believed to signal…
